A ministry spokesman told The Sun: "This is totally unacceptable behaviour. As soon as this information was shared with us, we conducted a search of this offender's cell and reported him to the police for investigation.

"We do not tolerate the use of social media by prisoners and have urged Twitter to shut down the account in question as soon as possible.

"There are measures in place to detect mobile phone but more needs to be done, which is why the Justice Secretary has asked us to look at how we can ensure the right tools are in place to tackle this problem."

Davis has previously appeared on television when he featured on BBC3 show Little Shopping Horrors in 2006, which saw his mother Lorraine take him to a psychotherapist to try to curb his excessive use of his Playstation.

He was convicted after admitting conspiracy to supply heroin and possession with intent to supply crack cocaine.
